Residential Chain Link Fencing in Atlanta

A chain link fence provides beauty and practicality for the value-conscious homeowner. Long viewed as a staple in the fencing industry, chain link is adept at keeping pets and children inside to ensure their safety. This type of fence is also ideal for retaining your privacy to a certain degree and ensuring that individuals are aware of the boundaries of the property line. Available in heights between 4 and 8 feet tall, this type of fencing helps ensure your peace of mind while adding to the value of your home.

Types of Chain Link Fences

Though its construction and design are fairly simple and straightforward, the result is a beautiful and practical fence that offers years of good looks and service. Fencepost holes are dug to mark the perimeter of the fence before concrete is wet-mixed and set around galvanized steel or black vinyl-wrapped posts. In between these terminal posts, the chain link fabric is stretched tautly to provide a secure barrier. The top rail is attached to provide more stability and security to protect your home and family.

Galvanized vs Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fencing

Galvanized Chain Link Fencing – Galvanized chain link fencing is typically what comes to mind when people are talking about this type of fence. It is noted by its distinctive silver appearance and provides a versatile solution to your containment issues. Whether you are trying to keep your children or pets safe, or you want to increase the value of your home with the highly-desirable selling point of a fenced-in yard, galvanized chain link is a budget-friendly method of meeting those goals.

Vinyl Coated Chain Link Fencing – While based on the same basic premise as galvanized chain link, a vinyl coated chain link fence has some notable differences. Designed to be nearly invisible, black vinyl coated chain link fencing is the most popular color chosen by homeowners. A vinyl coated chain link fence offers other advantages as well. Because it is coated with a weather resistant material, this type of fence is virtually immune to the elements. In addition, this coating does not peel or chip, further improving its resistance to rust.

Client Testimonials
  • Apex sent out a supervisor named Carl who was professional from the beginning to the end. The guys who did the actual installation did an excellent job. Carl designed the dramatic entrance surrounding the front gate himself and we have actually planted a vine now to add to the beauty.


  • Carl and his crew did an excellent job installing my 5 foot galvanized chain link fence & electric aluminium gate. Not to mention how quick it was installed. Unbelievable and even more how precise and the quality, INCREDIBLE. They were so clean, no debris left behind. My adorning beautiful eyelash style black aluminum electric single arm gate is the jewel of my home!!!! I have large doggies and feel very relaxed now that they are safe and secure !! If only all other businesses could mirror this!!


  • If you are considering Apex, look no further. They are FABULOUS! They are on time, do what they say they will, and provide great workmanship. We loved doing business with them.


  • We got two estimates for our fence, and went with Apex because it was the installer who came out to do the estimate, and he gave us some good ideas that we incorporated into our design. Everything happened just like they told us, and our fence was installed a couple of weeks ago. We were very impressed with the install, they cut each board of the privacy fence so that it followed the terrain while looking perfectly level and even at the top part. We would gladly recommend Apex to anyone who needs a fence installed.


  • Called Jill Monday and fence installed Wednesday the same week. Very pleasant and professional to deal with. This is our second fence with them and couldn't be more pleased.


  • I had Apex install our new fence in the backyard. They were always on time and did an excellent job. I will refer Apex to my friends and neighbors.


  • I had Apex install a privacy fence. It looks great, was installed quickly, and at a very reasonable price. Brian answered all my questions promptly and explained the installation process in detail. I highly recommend using Apex Fence Co.

  • I have a handicapped son who has 2 German Shepherds that were getting out of his fence. It was very hard for my son to get them back so I called Apex Fence and talked to Brian. We were going out of town for Thanksgiving and I had to get a new fence put up before we left because a pet-sitter was taking care of the dogs. Brian was so nice and professional. He promised me the fence would be finished in my time frame and it was. It was such a blessing that I hired Apex Fence. They did a beautiful job on the fence and now my son can let his dogs out without having to worry. I would highly recommend Apex Fence for any fencing needs you may have.


  • I highly recommend Apex Fence Company. I loved working with Phil to plan out our fence. The crew did a great job installing it also. They were very flexible with the changes I made and very easy to work with. Great pricing.
